I hadn't been on my boat in a few weeks, took the cover off and voila, on the steering column (on the rubber housing) was some kind of weird looking thing. It was about the size of the case an Ipod nano comes in (those clear plastic cases) or about 4" long and maybe an inch or two high, rectangular.

It was odd looking in that it wasn't a solid color but had odd pale green mixed in with an off-white looking color.

At first I thought it was some kind of hornet home, but nothing like the dirt round homes with a hole on the end I am used to seeing.

Anyway, I put on some gloves, turned a large garbage bag inside out and grabbed it using the bag and quickly tied it...yep, I wasn't too brave at the moment.

Never did investigate what it was, anybody ever see something like that "grow" on a rubber/plastic surface?
